Are English-Based Politicians Making Scots More Likely To Vote Yes?
Reports like this one on the BBC are saying that the Scottish Referendum is swinging towards independence.
There’s an old medical joke told by doctors. – “You can always tell a Barts man, but you can’t tell him anything!”
I suspect that in terms of politics this applies to Scots. After all the voting patterns for Scotland are very different to England in General Elections.
So as the No campaign seems to be based around those who found political fortune in Westminster, does the Yes Campaign have an advantage. Even Alistair Darling represents an Edinburgh constituency, so he must go down well in Glasgow.
So what is the No Campaign doing?
According to reports like this one, they’re sending in their secret weapon – John Prescott.
I have a feeling that this could give the Yes Campaign a winning push!

That comment originally was “you can always tell a Yorkshireman, but you can’t tell him much”. Probably started by a Lancashire man.

I think I’ve heard it in several contexts. But mainly in London concerning doctors from Barts.
